HAIR-DREsSING Styles.
The Ragsy Roll is out of Style and
the Sappho Is Now the Correct
Thing.

thc Sappno Is Now the Correct
Thing.
Every one is doing her hair up high
now," said little hair-dresser, patting
her own dainty coronal of red-browu
hair. I'VE tried it down low awhile
ago, but the ladies didn't like It,"
"Why?"
1t wasn't becoming, or they thought
IL wasn't. It's partly owing to the
shape OF the hats, you know. The hair
has to be done high to make them look
WELL"
"Some, 1 suppose, do it to lend
height to their figures"
"Ah, well yes. The truth IS, tits
the fashionable way; what other mo-
tive is neededp"
True enough. And bangs"
"Bangs will hold their own you may
be sure. The Pompadour style was
never generally accepted. 1t was too
frightfully common-sense for one thing.
And then il was so unbecoming. Com
nonsense things are apt to be unbe-
coming. The bang can be pardoned.
1t is only a sin; the Pompadour head
dress is stupidity"
"What sort of bang is most fashion
able now?"
The Russian bang. It's short on
the sides and pointed in front. But
it's not long at any part"
80 the Pompadour style is quite
given up?"
''Ol yes; you see it was so very try
Ing. Not one woman in a hundred
looks well with her haIr combed straight
back from her face. There is something
startling about it-particularly when
the hat-rim is broad"
"How about short hairP Is it worn
much nowp"
"Not nearly so much as it was awhile
ago. Most OF the ladies who had their
hair cut last year are doing 1t up now.
They use these little pln-loops-short
switches, you know, in the end of
which pin can be fastened"
''How was 1t that SO many women
had their hair cutp"
ut has some great advantages. For
one thing, it is light and clean, and il
one has sEapely head there is desire
TO show 1t at least once In lifetime,
without bunch Of hair somewhere on
it.n
SHOW did the ladies keep their hair
curled when it was short?"
They had it washed once every
week and curled-only seventy-fve
cents, you know-and it staid In
whole week" "
''Must have got frowsyP"
Not at all. 1t was lovely. I sup
pose they were little careful with ii.
"Wore night-caps. perhaps?"
The little hairdresSer looked shocked.
NO." she said. 81 don't think they
did,
"Whypu
because they're so ugly"
80, bit Of lace, with breath OF
perfume in it, tied under pink chin
with ribbon, and letting a stray curl
or two escape about the temples-lt
wouldn't be so bad, eh?"
The little halrdresser changed the
subject.
1--WE don't powder hair much-only
now and then, when a person has a
great personal liking for it.
at was an elegant fashion"
"Yes. 1t was nice for ma.querades
or balls where costumes were worn.
You see, one reason why so many ladies
had their hair cut off-to return to
short hair-was because 1t had been
bleached. A few years ago there was
a great deal of bleaching done. It's q
fearful bother to lady, and she's al
most sure to be sorry that she has had
it done, for 1t neceSsitates constant at
tention. Every time her hair grows out
an inch she has to bleach the new hair
to the roots. Indeed, they almost al
ways end by having it cut or
"Then there isn't much bleaching
done novp"
"Very little, indeed. There wasn't
very much satisfaction in it, for every
one could tell it was bleached hair"
"What is the latest style Of doing
up the hair?"
"They call it the Sappho. It's very
simple and graceful. You can do it
with your own hair or with switches.
See, here Is one OF the switches. 1t
can be very quickly done. 1t is made
with simple but very graceful loops.
1t is taking remarkably well with the
ladies, and is almost universally becom-
ing. The ladies are always glad to get
new way of doing up the hair. OF
course we have some very elaborate
ways of doing the hair for full-dress
balls. Tall rosettes made Of tulle and
an algrette of Roman pearls are worn
on the top of the coiffure."
'1s the French twist worn now?"
"a neat, smooth French twist Is al
ways sure to be popular with certain
ladies, but the baggy twist has quite
gone out"
"Horrible freak, that baggy twist"
"Oh, yes. 1t was carried so to ex.
tremes."
Zone always feared that the lady
who wore one was absent-minded and
had forgotten to comb her hair"
"Yes, it's bad to be in doubt on
subject like that. There are no end Of
pretty styles, but they are quite similar
after all. As 1 say, the Sappho style Is
the very newest thing" Every girl
in the shop-it was here discovered
had her hair done in the Sappho style.
Some had black hair. and one had red,
two had brown, and another, like
Leda, had golden hair, but each and
every one wore it in the style made
after the immortal singer.
do you purchase any hair2" the
hairdresSer was asked.
"No. We get it all from New York.
think il mostly comes from foreign
parts. guess they get 1t from peas
ants; really l don't know where 1t does
come FROM"
